Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of spacecraft dynamics research, and in particular relates to a method for determining the launch orbit of a lunar probe. Background technique
[0002] The launch of the lunar probe into the transfer orbit is the first space orbit for the probe to transfer to the moon and rendezvous with it after the probe is separated from the final stage of the launch vehicle. The starting point is usually represented by orbital epochs, position and velocity in the inertial coordinate system, or by orbital epochs and Kepler orbital elements. The Lunar Probe Measurement and Control Center can obtain the space trajectory of the Lunar Probe flying to the Moon over time based on the determination results of the injection transfer orbit.
[0003] For the determination of the traditional lunar probe's launch and transfer orbit, the measurement data comes from the ground radar tracking and measurement system, relying on the ground radar s...
